Question

I need 4 diseases of palm oil?

Answer 1

The diseases of oil palms are very dependent on cultural practices. When the palms are grown in small scattered units, the main disease is a trunk rot, which is caused by various species of ganoderma, but when they are grown in plantations fusarium wilt is liable to cause serious losses. The fungal disease, but rot, kills infected trees.
